To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that safeguard fundamental rights and assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems. On a local level, Open Society implements a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. Open Society has considerable experience working in partnership with and strengthening Roma civil society organizations, but also in collecting and analyzing data and evaluating projects and programs. The Open Society Early Childhood Program promotes the healthy development and wellbeing of young children through initiatives that emphasize parent and community engagement, professional development, and government accountability. Open Society is guided by a rights-based approach and social justice framework, with emphasis on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities, including minorities, migrants/refugees, children living in poverty, and children with developmental delays, malnutrition, and disabilities. Program initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe/Eurasia focus on addressing the situation of Roma children, children with disabilities, and children who have hindered access to services. Open Society continues to support and collaborate with the national and regional early childhood practitioners and non-governmental organizations established through its flagship Step by Step program, including the International Step by Step Association and, since 2012, the Romani Early Years Network.

  • Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016
    Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016 Abstract We show that unexpected financial windfalls increase corruption in local govern- ment. Our analysis uses a new data set on flood-related transfers, and the associated spending infringements, which the Bulgarian central government distributed to mu- nicipalities following torrential rains in 2004 and 2005. Using information from the publicly available audit reports we are able to build a unique objective index of cor- ruption. We exploit the quasi-random nature of the rainfall shock (conditional on controls for ground flood risk) to isolate exogenous variation in the amount of funds received by each municipality. Our results imply that a 10 % increase in the per capita amount of disbursed funds leads to a 9.8% increase in corruption. We also present suggestive evidence that more corrupt mayors anticipated punishment by voters and dropped out of the next election race. Our results highlight the governance pitfalls of non-tax transfers, such as disaster relief or assistance from international organizations, even in moderately strong democracies.
